puja

A quarter of an hour before the evening meal every Hindu, old or young, has to perform a "puja" before the gods.

With the money which he had in hand he used to buy cheap tinsel wares from Calcutta before the Puja holidays.

The Saraswati Puja was performed with great éclat and the five rupees could easily have been spared.

My kinsman and myself were returning to Calcutta from our Puja trip when we met the man in a train.
